I tried installing Linux after several successfull FreeBSD installs.  I 
found FreeBSD easier and safer to install.  The Linux distribution I 
tried was RedHat and despite me clearly not wanting it to write to 
my primary drive, it did so anyway and trashed the partition table.  I 
shall stick with FreeBSD in future.

Good luck with the install.  Try it.  It's easy.

Stuart.
